Potting soil vs garden bed soil.

I'm new to this. The wife and I are "trying" to get something going this year and about a month ago we put some various herbs and flowers in some oak barrels I got from work. Yeah...they didn't work at all despite our best efforts. Then just now we're looking at the bag-o-soil and notice it says specially formulated for garden beds, then on the back it says not for container gardens.

Someone please tell me if that really makes a difference, and what the difference is, and can you use one for both but not the other.

Any advice or info is greatly appreciated.

I live in Norfolk, VA
